The Family

The weevils all took to cotton and cows all took to dry
 But the varmints left behind, some took up to die
 Trouble took to Daddy like dew drops take to night
 Mama took to cryin' a lot and Daddy took to wine
 And I took a train outta there
 I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help, maybe
 Heaven help the tie that binds a family
 Heaven help the tie that binds a family
 Heaven help the tie that binds a family
 Flowers took to Daddy and Daddy, he took to calm
 Sister took to black wheel nights and Mama cried alone
 Brother, he took up preaching and the bank man took the farm
 They came and took my mom away, she can't do herself no harm
 And I took a train outta there
 I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help, maybe
 Heaven help the tie that binds a family
 Heaven help the tie that binds a family
 Heaven help the tie that binds a family
